What is A + B?

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sales are still going strong but it's never too early look ahead to Apple's next flagship smartphone, which could be just three months away. Here's what we know about the iPhone 6S release date, price and specs in the UK which might end up being the iPhone 7 including a possible 12Mp camera and Force Touch display. Also see: Best new phones coming in 2015.

Update 31 July: The influx of leaked iPhone 6S images continues with photos of what appears to be internal components destined for the new phone, as shown below. There's not much we can glean from the leak aside from further evidence that the external design of the iPhone is unlikely to see much in the way of changes.

Update 27 July: A leaked image reportedly showing the iPhone 6S shows the phone will have the same design and the Touch ID is unlikely to be moved from the home button to the rear or even the display. Reports also suggest a stronger aluminium to avoid a repeat of bendgate.

Update 23 July: In the Apple versus Samsung battle it looks like Samsung has blinked first as multiple rumours suggest that the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will be launched in August instead of September to avoid a clash.

Update 20 July: A new report suggests that Apple will finally ditch 16GB as the base storage capacity for the iPhone - contrary to the report below from 9to5Mac. M.I.C.Gadget thinks the line-up will include 32-, 64- and 128GB options saying "We can't tell you from what Foxconn's department we received information, but we can only say that the packaging of the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus don't have sticker with '16GB capacity."

iPhone 6S: The name and models - will it be the iPhone 7?

Following Apple's history with smartphones, the next iPhone will be an 'S' model. However, there's always the possibility it will put an end to this tradition so we may be in store for the iPhone 7 this year – you just never know. In fact, reports suggest that the new iPhone is going to be so different from the current models that Apple will indeed skip to the iPhone 7. This is what KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks who has a proven track record of predicting Apple launches correctly.

For the last two launches, Apple has introduced two new iPhones. We currently have the iPhone 6 and the larger iPhone 6 Plus and previously Apple launched the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Will we get two models again this year? We think so but rumours are thin on the ground on the subject at the moment but it's early days so stay tuned as we'll be updating this article as new information becomes available. Read: The best iPhone 6 alternatives.

iPhone 6S release date: When is the iPhone 6S coming out?

These days it relatively easy to predict when a new generation of a flagship smartphone will arrive. Most manufacturers announce a new model annually while a few go for every six months.

Apple is one of the former and if we look at previous launches, it's highly likely that the iPhone 6S will be announced in September and will go on sale a week or two afterwards. Of course, if the launch event is towards the end of the month, the iPhone 6S release date could be early October. Bear in mind that if there are two new iPhones announced this year, they may not go on sale on the same day.

However, if we are to believe Economic Daily News (translated), the iPhone 6S will arrive a month early in August. It claims this year's yield for the device is better than expected so Apple may jump its own gun.

What we do know is that Apple will give us our first look at iOS 9 since its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) begins on 8 June. It's pretty much a given that the iPhone 6S will come pre-loaded with iOS 9 so we will at least see the software features of the phone before it is announced.

Vodafone has revealed the iPhone 6S or 'New iPhone' as it is referred to will go on sale on 25 September with pre-order starting on 18 September. The information was sent in an email to staff but seen by Mobile News.

It looks like Apple is planning the biggest iPhone launch yet with a record order of between 85 million and 90 million units from its manufacturer, the Wall Street Journal reports via people familiar with the matter. Last year Apple ordered 70-80 million. The source also confirmed the screen sizes will remain the same at 4.7- and 5.5in.

iPhone 6S: Design and specs

With an 'S' model iPhone, most things tend to stay the same in terms of design and specs. Usually there are a few tweaks here and there but Apple will save major changes for the next full model number – ie the iPhone 7. The above leaked image shows an essentially identical case for the iPhone 6S.

It seems likely then that the iPhone 6S will look the same as the current iPhone 6. It will use the same chassis and come in the same colour options. The weight might change though due to different components inside or a new sapphire glass. The below image shows the design will be just 0.13mm thicker so it will fit most existing cases.

The latest on the iPhone 6S comes via KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who is known for accurate info. Kuo says the next iPhone will have a bigger screen and be 0.2mm thicker and 0.15mm taller than the current model. Colours will also reportedly match the Apple Watch and the iPhone will use the same 7000 series aluminium.

A lot of Apple users will be hoping for 32GB of storage as the smallest iPhone but it looks like it will remain at 16GB. The below image reportedly shows a 16GB Toshiba flash chip with a 19nm process. It seems that we'll get the choice of 64- and 128GB alongside this again.

However, a leak which supposedly has sources at iPhone manufacturer Foxconn, says the lowest capacity will be 32GB.

An S model sticks with the same screen size so we're probably looking at 4.7in and if there is an iPhone 6S Plus then it should remain at 5.5in. Resolutions are also likely to stay the same although one rumour suggests the new iPhone will have a 5in display with a 400ppi and what about the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge rivalling concept below by Michael Shanks?

So what will change?

If the design of the iPhone 6S remains the same, then Apple will provide upgrades in the form of new hardware. There are various rumours floating around, the most obvious of which, is of a new processor. The iPhone 6S will come with an A9 chip and could also get an upgrade in the RAM department to 2GB.

The Touch ID fingerprint scanner could be integrated into the display, according to one rumour, rather than sitting in the home button. But the most interesting rumour about the display, and more likely, is that it could feature Force Touch which has made its debut on the Apple Watch and new MacBook. The technology means the screen can tell between a tap and a press opening up various opportunities. As mentioned at the top of the page, sources say this is confirmed for the new iPhone models.

The possible addition of Force Touch has been confirmed, according to Bloomberg's sources. The report also states that the new iPhone models will keep the 4.7- and 5.5in screen size options.

There are also reports from the WSJ that the iPhone 6S (possibly only the 6S Plus according to conflicting rumours) will support Force Touch. The source is apparently an Apple supplier, so it's best to take this with a pinch of salt - Apple often tests technologies using suppliers that never make it into the final product, so this may also be the case with Force Touch.

We thought the cameras would almost certainly be upgraded, although we're not sure a rumoured 21Mp rear camera is probable and the latest rumours suggest a jump to a 12Mp sensor. The iOS 9 code suggests the front camera will be able to record 1080p video at 60fps, record 240fps slow motion and support a flash.

More likely is a reversible USB connector. We already have the Lightning connector which can be plugged in either way round so we'd put money on Apple doing it at the other end of the cable, too. Also highly possible, practically a given, is that the iPhone 6S will come pre-loaded with iOS 9 which will probably be detailed at Apple's WWDC which normally takes place in June.

There's also a rumour suggesting that Apple may decide to use the same series 7000 aluminium that they use for the Apple Watch with the iPhone 6S. The Series 7000 aluminium is 60% stronger than standard aluminium, but keeps its lightweight form factor making it a great candidate for the iPhone 6S.

NFC will once again be present but with an upgraded chip. It's unclear what this will mean for the iPhone 6S but it looks like it might add a secure element processor, removing the need for a separate chip.

One final rumour suggests that the iPhone 6S might be available in a rose gold colour in addition to the silver, gold and space grey, to match the rose gold Apple Watch Edition. Below is a concept image of a rose gold iPhone 6S by designer Martin Hajek.

This matches up nicely with what Kuo's information who also says the iPhone will have larger screen and a slightly bigger body - 0.2mm thicker and 0.15mm taller.

iPhone 6S rumours: Did you mean Samsung Galaxy S6?

Google iPhone 6S and you'll come across a sneaky little jibe from Samsung, which is known for taking stabs at Apple through its marketing. A search for 'iPhone 6S' will produce an ad at the very top of Google that reads "Awkard, you obviously mean S6," linking to none other than Samsung.

Alternative results include "We think you mean S6," and "The S6 goes all the way to the edge without bending."

iPhone 6S price: How much will the iPhone 6S cost in the UK?

We don't have any solid clues that point to the iPhone 6S's price in the UK yet, but we expect that it'll be similar to the price of the current iPhone models.

And it did use the 14nm in its s6 First iphone is geting it 2nd!!!!!

Greg said: Comments,Greg,Hes obviously a very simple man man mate, thats why he likes ios its made for the people who just dont get it. Sometimes i wonder how they cross the road without lights

Paul said: Comments,Paul,Only just saw this comment i know its late, but obviously the man is a complete idiot if he thinks his statement android you have to work to make it work with anything, hes senile or plain dumb. The beauty of any android is to be able to share or copy or send a file with ease. Even just pick up a standard usb flash drive and plug it into your phone. In ebay i can pay $10 for a 16gb sansdisk flash drive and it has a micro usb end an the other end plugs into a pc or tv, so i plug into phone send all music videos and pics and zips and pdfs anything straight to the drive then put in pc or tv to view. Apple has no answer to this simplicity. Hes a fool raised on ios and pixie dust.

Chris H said: Comments,Chris H,Yes it is until the newest ios slows your iPhone down into the ground.....then you must automatically get a new one

Chris H said: Comments,Chris H,Except the watch. I am surprised they even introduced it.....there is no point to the watch and it costs too much for any sane person to buy it.

Sayed said: Comments,Sayed,I mean htc

Sayed said: Comments,Sayed,iPhones are good and I don't hate them but I don't feel they are being inovative anymore. Like think about this, what was the difference between iPhone 4 and 4s. Only real change was Siri. Siri could been a software update, there was no need for a new phone. And iPhone 5, 5s, 5c. One has fingerprint which is pretty cool but besides what is new. iPhone 5c was useless. All it had was a plastic back. But, Samsung Isn't good either. It is innovative but it puts a bunch of extra apps that half we don't use. If you download a bunch of apps the phone lags like crazy. I think lg and hoc are really good. They are like apple with being easy to use and fast but has the android diversity and variety.

James said: Comments,James,If these rumors are true https://www.youtube.com/watch?... then there's a new 12 Megapixel Sony sensor coming on the Iphone 6s as well which is pretty awesome

I want sth that feels (FEELS!!!) luxury and raw performance I buy apple but I should say android freedom is sth else too thats why I use android/IOS when I want to play games or use editing programs I do use My Idevice and when I want to draw (THE S PEN IS AWESOME!!!) or store files like movies or pictures etc I use ny adroid device.... Keep saying Android/Ios is better but Its all about your choice Andro/I FANBOYS just stop it...

After all it is a phone and what matters more, the fact it works when and where you need it to or a new color and 5TPixel camera for you to take Blurred selfies in a bar..,

Paul said: Comments,Paul,Nothing will make me buy an iphone again. I had an iphone 3g years ago. I bought a Samsung and it opened my eyes to the simplicity of everything. There is no need to plug into a computer as all its music and movie files and pics can be bluetoothed or transfered over to a usb flash drive straight from the phone with a $2 cable. So my phone stays in my pocket and i watch youtube videos that i want to keep, on the telly from the usb drive. Because on android i was able to put on a youtube downloader the movies are on the drive stick, for crying out loud i can give a dozen copies to friends i could even copy music and put it on if i want to. The simple ease of haveing a pc like device that does what i tell it, not a device that tells me this is how you do it.

Ben Ho said: Comments,Ben Ho,Hands down the best looking phone. It's slick, works perfectly and has enough memory for everything I need. Without a case, it's very easy to let slip out of your hand due to it's smooth and curved shell. But if you've got a shell on, then you're golden.

Stefano Marsella said: Comments,Stefano Marsella,I personally prefer the iPhone. The pros of the iPhone is that it is very easy to use out of the box, it works seamlessly with all the other apple products. Iphones are faster at loading certain things.The cons are that it is not so seamless with android (which is both sides fault) and that the os is very locked down, u have to jailbreak to customise the phone (I'm aware of the keyboards and widgets in nc) ,also a lot of android phones have a micro SD card slot which apple should integrate.The pros of android is it is very customisable, they have micro SD card slots , is faster at loading other things , is heavily integrated with google and has a lot of brands to choose from which means a lot of different looks and experiences to choose from, The cons are android is more likely to catch viruses, not as many apps as iOS even tho the gap is very small there are still apps that are not on android. One thing I've noticed about samsung in particular is that they are not good with wifi, my moms s4 is constantly disconnecting from the wifi when inside the house.thing is like JJ said there is no perfect phone the perfect phone to u is the one you prefer

Praetor918 said: Comments,Praetor918,I absolutely agree. There are only 2 android phones I would ever consider owning, and it's the Sony Xperia Z series, and the HTC M8. However I couldn't get an M8 in my country that supports both the main LTE band and the support LTE band for my carrier, hence went with the Z2. Having owned an HTC One GPE before, I really do miss the build quality and the boom sound speakers :(

Praetor918 said: Comments,Praetor918,I was a die hard apple fan, and reluctantly started using Android phones after I stopped using iphone 5. You know what I realized? There IS a perfect phone, called the Xperia Z2 :) Although it's just my own personal opinion, I could not ask for more in a phone (Gorgeous design, perfect screen size of 5.1", waterproof, 4k Video recording, 20mp camera that takes stunning pictures, and an expandable memory slot) I'm tempted to purchase an iphone 6 just because it's the kind of iphone I've always wanted, but I'd use it as a "sub" phone for work. If you have a hard time deciding, why not take a look at the Sony Xperia Z series? If Z2 or Z3 is too big, you can always opt for the "compact" series too[edit] I guess the apps force closing on Androids can be a bit gimicky... and I agree. however for me, the pros far outweigh the cons.

Praetor918 said: Comments,Praetor918,The title should say "review" NOT specs. Figures that I go to review sites only to find specs, and come to this site to actually view "specs" only to get a review.Specs:LTE bands supported, battery size, dimensions, weight, camera specs, etc etc etc....

David Lundquist said: Comments,David Lundquist,Hmm so what I have learned is iPhone 6 has a limitied camera:A failure to support UHD 2160p video recording and the focus capabilities will be done by software since the case is too thin to support anything else.And wow wait for it: the modem for 4g still won't max out capacity of the networkHow do you spell mediocre?

There are cheap 8 core phones on the market with 5,5 inch display, but I will give my money for dual core 4,7 inch iPhone because is shiny. . Trust me.I want to buy already old new IPhone but this is revolution. Hey technologies get better and better with a speed of light and people are confused....so iPhone 6 include features that are already on the market to slow down the progress and that is AMAZING. Also I will store my top secret files on iCloud because you just can't crack it. Trust me. And this shiny button ... so...big and round .... oooh man. I want to touch that button... so discussion is over. I BUY iPHONE because the new iPHONE is just like my ENglish....so perfect.

JP365 said: Comments,JP365,Mine is bigger than yours and my dad can beat up your dad! That's all I hear. iPhone works well for me. Don't care for Android OS BUT it is a personal preference. Clearly it is preference as people switch back and forth ALL THE TIME between the two.

fredphoesh said: Comments,fredphoesh,EMBARRASSING!!!!!! Apple have clearly lost the plot since jobs died. There is nothing new here, in fact the gap between SEVERAL top Android phones and the iapple offering is widening... and Apple using a lame has-been band like U2 at their event (which apple could not manage to stream properly!) is pretty pathetic. iphone was once king of the pile is now a has-been, two full generations away from competing. The only use for an iphone is for those who value style over content. It is a very pretty and competent phone, almost as pretty as the HTC One M8, but the iphone6 compares to mid-range Android phones, no the top end.

Dodong Dalamhati said: Comments,Dodong Dalamhati,htc one still rocks by far! it's the same apple product again!

mbrosch said: Comments,mbrosch,Well children when you get to be a doddering old fart like me you will care about the little things, like does this thing require a rocket surgeon to actually use it's capabilities, or can will I too see the value in carrying it around. Since I bought my first Motorola "Brick" I have owned a cell phone and the only one, in fact the only product I have bought in years, that exceeds my expectations regarding functionality and reliability is the iPhone.

Nova Flare said: Comments,Nova Flare,Odd because the iphone 5s thumb print scanner is sapphire glass operative word glass. And yes it does scratch quite easily. Your old mans watch likely has a sapphire coated face to make it scratch resistant. The apple hype is the glass was suppose to be made from sapphire glass. What this really is is they take cheap sapphires non jem quality. Grind them to dust then mix with other ingredients heat etc and make glass. The sapphire glass at that point has all the properties of good old fashion glass.Take note at how apple worded things with relation to their sapphire glass. "sapphires are second in hardness only to diamonds." They make no direct claim that their sapphire glass is second only to diamonds in hardness etc only that sapphires are. Meaning they avoid false advertisement problems this way.Im sure ill be replacing the screens plenty soon after they shatter like the glass they really are.

jaffa99 said: Comments,jaffa99,All those problems you're experiencing are Samsung issues, try a Nexus5 or the upcoming Nexus6 (even a recent Motorolla), they have the latest Android versions, get quick updates and they don't have all those poorly developed modifications that Samsung and others put on top of the OS.

Sid said: Comments,Sid,I had the iphone first and loved it. Then came the galaxy S2 and I tried that. Was the biggest mistake ever. The phone would over heat, the wifi would work a little and then just switch off and. Would have to reset the phone again. Then the wifi stopped working. Trying to update the phone was even more mind boggling. It would connect and then disconnect from the pc. Nothing went well with it. I had to buy another iphone and my money went down the drain. I will never again make the mistake of buying wannabe products. Now 800$ sits in a drawer doing nothing. Its just too painful to think that these mega companies make so much money and I end up with a brick. Samsung can screw themselves until they are the last company out there and I have no choice. They can bring out the S100 for all I care. I will never recommend it to anyone.

Dan Mac said: Comments,Dan Mac,Apple iphone 6 disappointed me.

whitcomb91 said: Comments,whitcomb91,especially with the recent exposure of cloud information!

whitcomb91 said: Comments,whitcomb91,as for your photos being in various places with the android is because that is the 'android feature': being able to customize your phone to the degree that you can even decide where every file is located, unlike the iPhone where it automatically places the file in the ONLY place it can go. The reason some people hate iPhones is because they are not tech-smart enough to look where the phone is asking you to save the file and you lose it.if only people learned how to use the phone, more people would ditch the iPhone.--Previous loyal Apple Consumer turned Android fanatic.

Ergi Agolli said: Comments,Ergi Agolli,The class of people who buy apple products, are idiot, ignorant and doesnt know anything about technology. The only thing they know is, "Oh my god im going to buy iphone because its "IPHONE" ;)

Brian said: Comments,Brian,I was expecting a response from you, Matt. I admire &amp; respect your loyalty to your fellow colleagues. Honestly though, implying giving us proper functionality would be forcing us to make a decision is ridiculous.

ShaneMcGrath said: Comments,ShaneMcGrath,Ummm no sapphire screen is pretty awesome, My old mans expensive watch has it and you can take a compass point and try run it along and nothing happens. lol

Brian said: Comments,Brian,Biased writers are hilarious. Hey, let's try to turn a lacking feature into a positive. The article says: "Of course, as we already knew, iOS 8 also introduces time-lapse video. The interval is chosen automatically rather than forcing you to make the decisions." It more accurately and more honestly should have read.... "The interval is chosen automatically and provides no provision for manual input from the user, so that is a bit of a bummer".Time lapse photography requires some manual intervention... the interval set varies widely depending upon the subject being captured. Take your Apple bias elsewhere and don't tell us robbing us of making our own settings is "not forcing us" to make decisions.

Brian said: Comments,Brian,That is not a very intelligent statement if you stop and think about it! When I bought my S4 it was about the same price as the current iPhone of that time. Therefore, money was no issue, I chose what I preferred. So why would I buy an S4 if I thought Apple was better? People who buy flagship phones of other brands are generally people don't want iPhones.

Stretch90 said: Comments,Stretch90,Yes, smart answer.Switching between apps is garbage on ios7, there's huge delays between gestures and loading apps is insanely slow especially on the iphone 5 and older. iOS7 is a train wreck, I never thought losing Jobs would have such an early impact on the company.

Darron Crowe said: Comments,Darron Crowe,The larger camera and better battery life will be a big plus to the updated iPhone 6. One thing that will make this a market changer is capabilities to use mobile payments. Keep a sharp eye on any announcement Apple makes concerning this new approach. If successful, big things are going to happen when it comes to the way we pay for products and services. When you are ready to purchase the new iPhone don't forget to get some cash trading in your old iPhone at http://www.farewellcell.com.

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,Given how successful the current sized iPhone has been surely Apple would release a 6 with 3 different sizes, the current size, a 4.7 and maybe a 5.5. Ultimately I want a an iWatch and a tablet and dispense with the phone. Have Apple got the strength of corporate character to plan for the demise of their biggest earner? Imagine a bluetooth earpeice headset like the one shown by Samsung for there 3rd generation watch which they have put a sim in which connects to the watch and a tablet.

Bangyan Zhang said: Comments,Bangyan Zhang,I think this new Iphone is really cool. However, for me, I do not really like the reverse side of Iphone 6. It seems a little bit rough. I prefer to see the phone which has sharp sides like Iphone 4S and Iphone 5. Everything is cool about the new phone, but I have to say I feel a little bit disappointed about the reverse side. Just feeling the reverse side is not cool

Tommy Timberland said: Comments,Tommy Timberland,Same old story with Apple. Slightly bigger, better processor and more storage. They're a bit late to the game with NFC. They should just keep the name iphone / repackaged and resold to people that think they're getting something new.

Ashley Taylor said: Comments,Ashley Taylor,Noooooo!!!!!!! I need the 5.5 to come out in september!! I've been holding off on an upgrade for ages. If I settle with the 4.7, i wont be able to sleep at night.

RL said: Comments,RL,The comment about the aperture being "1.8, and possibly going to 2.0 or something better" is confusing. The lower the number is, the more light it takes in. Although the more light it takes in, the shallower the depth of field will be. So 1.8 will be better in low light without a flash, as long as you want shallow depth of field (portraits, artsy shots, etc).

P R A E T O R said: Comments,P R A E T O R,Its called iphone 6 :) I myself was a hardcore iphone user up until 5 but then switched to Sony Z2. I now can take 4k videos under water and later view it on the gorgeous screen. Before getting the Z2 Android was just going to be a stepping stone until iphone 6 came out but now I will keep both phones.

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,Sorry Brian what was that you wrote, 'I can't possible show you figures...' Well here goes Brian.My Dear Brian if you spent just took one minute to actually research and read the subjects with an open mind you would bring balance to the things to incorrectly and zealously say. Again what you accuse me of you have in fact proven you actually do, i.e. Make up stuff.Below is just 30 seconds of Google searching, you know Google, the people who make Android… So Brian have a read, try to take your head out of you’re a.. so that you can bring some balance. You will also see that profits allow for re-investment, Apple Profits come from just a few key products so investment goes back into those few products, Samsung, which is the high end of Android, also get profits from all their other activities such as cameras and each inning machines to mention just a few so when you device profit and therefore investment it's a fraction of what Apple invest. It's worse for other Android manufactures…http://techland.time.com/2013/...http://wallstcheatsheet.com/te...http://www.forbes.com/sites/to...I really love this article, is this you Brian…?http://www.businessinsider.com...And now for one that makes Android look better…http://www.idigitaltimes.com/a...So again Brian thank you for the entertainment, you are the Emo of comedy and I love you, you are a modest man, you have a lot to be modest about... Laughing out loud in a café in Grand Cayman and looking forward to your next jealous and fanatical fanboy post.

Brian said: Comments,Brian,Considering Android offers many features over and above that of iOS, you cannot possibly show me figures stating iPhone users get more out of their phones than Android users. What annoys me with people like you who talk utter crap is that you are trying to BS a person who had iOS for several years and knows the difference!!! Let's stop here because you are all waffle and never state any facts or give examples, etc, Prove you are not full of BS by "naming" all the things you CLAIM iOS users get out of their phones which Android users don't.

Brian said: Comments,Brian,I think it is you who must be young as you clearly have a short attention span and forget things. SHOW ME where I ever stated iOS is intuitive? I implied that all OSes have unintuitive features which you would never know existed if you didn't read a manual. I even told you several people I know never even knew you could double-click the Home button in iOS 6 and earlier to bring up Recent Apps.Having used iOS and Android I rate them as equally intuitive and easy to use, overall. Certain things are easier in each OS. Android flagship phones tend to have many more features than iPhones, so you need to read the manual "to get the most out of the phone". If you are a lazy person, as you clearly are, and can't be bothered reading user manuals then you will miss out on many features. I'll give you another example: why would anyone naturally know how to take a screen capture in iOS or Android without reading about it?You never gave your Samsung phone a real go because you couldn't be bothered learning something new. You probably tried to do things the way you did on your iPhone... and guess what? iPhones do not set the standards for how to do things on a phone!!

Brian said: Comments,Brian,Instead of making your usual vague and baseless statements - how about you start pointing out some of my "misguided" statements?I only express facts from what I know from experience or what I have read. You called me misguided because I said iPhones don't meet my needs. If you tell me what is misguided about that I'll educate you on why I made that statement.

Brian said: Comments,Brian,I'm glad you are enjoying the entertainment. I am a "say it how it is" kind of person. I use a lot of technology and like most other people - I use what best suits my needs. Don't confuse that with fanboyism. If Apple brought out an iPhone that better suited my needs than Samsung phones do - I would switch back to iPhone. As it stands I switched 'from' iPhone because it lacked the features I needed and still does (currently).Apple, being Apple, are addressing some of the lacked features I require IF I OWN A MAC. I have zero interest in owning a Mac and so iOS 8 still won't fulfil my needs. That is one of the great strengths of Android: it does not require you have a PC with Android on it to get the most out of it. It works well with everything.

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,That last opening paragraphs really made me laugh about not being in love with any manufacture,again Brian read your own posts and assimilate what you write. Please don't stop commenting, you are pure entertainment. :-)

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,Apple will be relieved as you do a brand damage with your zealous and misguided and inaccurate comments.

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,like both companies but for Brian to argue the build quality between an iPhone and a Galaxy anything similar is the actions of a fanatical fanboy..Accurate.., lol.

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,Quite witty, I like that. The number of votes V's Brian's about sums up the support for your comments... :-). I like both companies but for Brian to argue the build quality between an iPhone and a Galaxy anything is similar is the actions of a fanatical fanboy...

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,Brian you don't read your own stuff, you have clearly stated usability/intuitive is Apple's iOS, you actually mean the number of features perhaps... Just guessing Brian but are you quite young as you seem to miss the point of your own comments...

goalieguy44 said: Comments,goalieguy44,just a bit of advice, speak up in your next video please, I can't hear about 40% of the conversation.

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,Lol, yes I do for the average person and that of a man Brian. You have just eloquently proved my point, you should not need to read the manual and most people don't. Brian, profits, paid for App's, phone usage indicates that Apple and Apple users get far more from their phone than Android.Brian have you read what you have written?You wrote "Once again, you'd miss out on tons of hidden and not-so-intuitive features." The you write "Not-so-intuitive doesn't mean difficult,", yes it does it means exactly that. I'm laughing at your very own points, even though you write them you can't get it. You support my thoughts, if you can't see this Brian perhaps you should seek counselling for your addition my son... :-)In defending myself and the 'Average' person you are making me seem like a Fanboy so I'll stop as unlike you I have multiple OS's in constant use on both phone, tablet and computer. If you use iPhone, Note/Android, Windows, and Windows Phone then I'll defer but as someone who mixes and matched constantly I have a preference. So whilst Android and perhaps Samsung sell more phones, statistics clearly illustrate that they are used by the majority as basic phones and that iPhone user use their phones for more advanced use, I wonder why, ease of use and intuitive perhaps. This is not my view, this is published fact and the more you shout the fanboy you are, you ignore the facts. But hey Brian you are entitled to you view as I am mine. Thank you for entertaining me. :-)

Brian said: Comments,Brian,You are taking the app permissions out of context. If an app requests permission to use your camera, for example, it is because it needs the camera to fully perform its features. For example, a video chat app or even the basic messaging app (which can access the camera, shoot a video or still and attach it to a message) needs your permission to perform its functionality properly. You're acting as though my banking app is requesting permission to access my video camera.

Brian said: Comments,Brian,You are talking nonsense now and you obviously fit the "average" person who never reads a manual. If a device has MANY features then how would you even know the features existed without reading a manual? Just as an example, on your so-called "easy to use" iPhone... none of my family read anything either... so none of them knew you could double-click the home button to bring up a list of recent apps and launch or close them from there too. I'm talking about iOS 6 and earlier. Why would anyone "instinctively" know to double-click that button?Your Note 3 has many, many more features than an iPhone, so naturally you need to put some effort in to finding out about them all. A quick download and read of the user manual and you'll know how to use ever feature on the phone in no time at all. This goes for EVERY product out there!! Buy a new camera and never read the handbook and I absolutely guarantee you that you will be missing several features you never knew it had. Imagine never reading about Windows or Mac OS. Once again, you'd miss out on tons of hidden and not-so-intuitive features. Not-so-intuitive doesn't mean difficult, it means you wouldn't know the features were there. Once you know where they are.. they are very simple to use.

妞妞 said: Comments,妞妞,Let's not forget the NFC Beam being implemented on the new iPhone as if it was a revolution, a feature that has been on every Android phones for years. And some Android phones look premium, such as the HTC M8.

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,Brian nice tone, basically you missed the point, you also clearly highlighted my point, it maybe all there but it's not easy to find or user friendly. I am a fan of tech not a fanboy which I feel you clearly illustrate in your response.

jason said: Comments,jason,its wierd why samsung dont use those displays and processors [and whatever other component they make for apple] for themselves. its like keeping a biscuit for yourselves and giving the cake to your opponent.

Brian said: Comments,Brian,You're obviously nowhere near as geeky as your reputation (amongst your friends) suggests. Android is VERY easy to use and figure out. Obviously, a phone as highly-featured as the Note 3 or an S5 requires one to read the user manual. From my experience of people in general, people don't tend to read handbooks. How can you be sure you're not missing out on tons of features if you haven't read what features exist?

Brian said: Comments,Brian,Only in your imagination is Apple better.

Coatsey said: Comments,Coatsey,All great stuff, I have and Note 3 and am classed as a Geek by my friends and I do not know how to do half the stuff you mention. After switching to a Note 3 from and iPhone 5s I have migrated, until the iPhone 6 arrives to a Nokia Lumia 925 running WP 8.1 and have to say that whilst I will be returning to iOS and an iPhone 6 my second choice would now be Windows Phone, yep that surprised me to, and not android...

Jonathan Dunmire said: Comments,Jonathan Dunmire,If it is, that means smaller antenna cutouts. It also doesn't appear that the camera protrudes past the back panel. It could appear flat because it's just photoshopped into the space though.

Sam said: Comments,Sam,I have mixed feelings about this whole iPhone vs. Android thing. From what I've experienced, Samsung phones are kind of crappy. But the HTC performance exceeds all my expectations. I guess it just depends on your preferences, whether you want the sleek design and simplicity of the iPhone or the freedom and multi-use of the Android. Both have their pros and cons, and I wouldn't say one is better than the other.

Matt Egan said: Comments,Matt Egan,Perhaps (although on this side of the pond a 'douche' is a French shower). I do understand the difference between 'your' and 'you're', however. And that gives my insults a little more heft, I find.
